Was it you that night?

The Heavenly Emperor sent everyone away before asking Nan Sheng, "His Excellency has heard that you are the Daughter of the Heavenly Dao, is there any truth to this?" Nan Sheng was stumped by the question posed by the Heavenly Emperor.

This was a rumor spread by Nan Lan with the aim of uplifting herself and discrediting Shen Qinghe.

But at this moment, as the Heavenly Emperor gazed at her with such earnest eyes, she did not dare tell the truth. After carefully choosing her words, she replied, "I have never heard about this rumor, but my luck has been exceptionally good since I was young. I embarked on the path of cultivation with the body of a mortal. I had suffered serious injuries, but then I encountered Your Majesty, a noble person who provided me with life in a desperate situation, all thanks to Your Majesty’s blessing."

The Heavenly Emperor listened attentively, feeling that Nan Sheng’s luck was indeed excellent.

"His Excellency has heard that you have a fair number of admirers and that many outstanding figures from the Sky Pole Sect have fallen at your feet; is this true?" the Heavenly Emperor asked seriously.

Looking timidly at the Heavenly Emperor, Nan Sheng stammered, "I... I didn’t do it on purpose..."

The Heavenly Emperor, seeing Nan Sheng’s pitiable appearance, immediately felt a protective urge well up inside him. If he, such a flirtatious man, could not resist Nan Sheng’s beauty, then what about Dongfang Wuya?

Dongfang Wuya, being a man as well, would presumably be unable to resist Nan Sheng’s beauty.

He did not care whether Nan Sheng was actually the Daughter of the Heavenly Dao or not; he only knew that Nan Sheng’s beauty was rare in the Three Realms, and any man would be moved by such a woman.

Why not have Nan Sheng employ a beauty trap on Dongfang Wuya, or better yet, he would recognize Nan Sheng as his sworn sister and have her marry Dongfang Wuya, thus gaining Dongfang Wuya’s allegiance without resorting to military force.
